matteekay started following What 9mm Revolvers are Allowed for BUG-R?, MESQUITE MAYHEM REVOLVER CLASSIC, 2019 LoCap Matchbook? and and 2 others

That's really cool. I can attest to the range being awesome after shooting the 2018 IRC there. Mark's got a great crew and puts on a well-run match.

Big Announcement for ICORE
matteekay replied to revoman's topic in Revolver Match Announcements and Discussions
Did this change? The ICORE website lists the match as Nov 5 - 8 in Frostproof. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk -

Oh, does Universal Shooting Academy have a practice/sight-in/ammo dump bay?

I'm trying to determine if I could run a Para Ordnance Warthog in BUG-S. As far as I can tell, it meets every dimensional requirement, but has a barrel with no bushing. Does that make it a "heavy" barrel and thus excluded from BUG-S? As far as I can tell, only BUG-R has exemptions for heavy barrels. Edit: Found my own answer. 8.2.8.2 states that ESP rules apply, and heavy barrels are allowed provided that they're shorter than 4.25". So, good to go.

Any AR-15 grip fits. The main thing is that the rear of the lower receiver is further forward than it is on an AR, so grips with a beavertail will fit but might look a little goofy. I got around that by using a QD-style end plate that filled in the void above the grip. Still a little gap, but way more comfortable for me.

In case anyone missed it, they're predicting a round count of 470. I'm bringing 700 because I suck (600 shipped, 100 with the guns). In case you need the shipping address... “Your Name” c/o Universal Shooting Academy USPSA Nationals 4330 Hwy. 630 East Frostproof, FL 33843 UPS and FedEx Ground look to be the only options for sending ammo. UPS requires you to go to a customer center and not a UPS Store (or other third party). UPS will also pick up hazmat as part of a regular route, though I believe that you can't request a pickup. Get chummy with your local gun store!

I just converted it to 1/16 and ran a roll pin through. I might see if I can flare the ends a little, too (old school hammer nose style). Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk

Exactly. I run Rhino's in ESR and ICORE - I'd absolutely get a snubnose version for BUG-R, but I'm not messing with downloading to 5 rounds.

Ah, right, forgot about that blanket coverage. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk

I think the real question is - could you run .38 Short Colt? It IS a .38 or larger case It's NOT (technically) trimmed as it's a production cartridge (currently made by Fiocchi and Remington, historically made by others)

Impossible to run without a moonclip, though. Brass wouldn't eject without the clip, and you'd have to reload individual rounds as there's no such thing as a 9mm revolver speedloader (as far as I know).

Perfect, thank you so much!
